Zainab

Zainab is married with two children. She has been in business trading in slippers for over eleven years now. She owns a stall along one of the busy streets in Makeni. She is very hard working and determined to succeed in business. For this reason, Zainab is seeking a loan to be able to buy goods that will increase her capital and then her profit. She intends to use the proceeds from the loan to educate her children up to university level and to build a house in the future.
